I mailed this privately to Tollef, but since it might be generally
useful for other Gnusers:

If you've set up your `to-address' group parameter in Gnus for each
mailing list (so 'F' does the right thing), then adding the following
code to one's `gnus-posting-styles' will make it automatically insert
that address as the Mail-Followup-To.

	((and (message-mail-p) (stringp gnus-newsgroup-name))
	 ("Mail-Followup-To" (gnus-group-get-parameter gnus-newsgroup-name 'to-address)))

Just as an example, here's my full `gnus-posting-styles':

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '((".*"
	 ("User-Agent" (if (= 0 (random 10))
			   (format "Microsoft Gnus Express, Build %s (%s)"
				   (gnus-continuum-version (gnus-version))
				   gnus-version-number)
			 (concat (gnus-extended-version) " (" system-configuration ")")))
	 (organization "The Ohio State University Dept. of Computer and Info. Science"))
	((and (message-mail-p) (stringp gnus-newsgroup-name))
	 ("Mail-Followup-To" (gnus-group-get-parameter gnus-newsgroup-name 'to-address)))
        ((message-news-p)
	 (address "walters+n@cis.ohio-state.edu")
	 ("Mail-Copies-To" "never"))
	("^gnu\\|emacs"
	 (organization "Church of Emacs, Missionary Dept."))
	("gnu\\.emacs\\.bug"
	 ("Mail-Copies-To" nil))))

Posting styles rock :)
